Fairport, NY (August 31, 2015) – Vanteon is pleased to announce the availability of a new micropower long range wireless radio transceiver. The radio, based on Vanteon’s vImpulse intellectual property platform, was recently demonstrated to a wide audience of electronic development engineers and sales professionals at the 2015 Microchip Masters conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The vImpulse radio is a software configurable transceiver module designed for long range data communications with very low power consumption for battery operated devices.

The small form factor (1.9” x 1.13”) and low quiescent power (~2 uA sleep current) allow the module to be utilized in applications that require remote control and data acquisition in industrial environments where frequent battery changes are inconvenient and costly. Applications include low power wireless sensor network systems, SCADA, meter reading, oil and gas monitoring and control. The use of 900 MHz unlicensed spectrum allows the device to be easily installed in an existing enclosure and deployed in a wide variety of systems.

The vImpulse name conveys the notion of the very quiet, low power quiescent sleep state, which upon awakening by the host, quickly bursts data at a rate up to 1 Mbps at a transmit power up to 1 watt -- the FCC maximum allowed output in this band. This unique technology provides years of long range data transmission capability from remote network endpoints where battery operation is necessary. The vImpulse module is well suited to be deployed in a Point to Multi-point network utilizing the Vanteon vPrisum™ Software Defined Radio platform as a collector/gateway radio. The high performance vPrisum™ platform complements vImpulse by employing wideband signal processing techniques to enable communication with many vImpulse devices simultaneously.

Rochester, New York (May 21, 2013) Vanteon Corporation, an electronic systems design and engineering company, recently was awarded a contract for developing a fault tolerant rotor parameter monitoring system to help maximize up-time for large motors and generators.

Vanteon’s solution will employ redundant RF links to transmit sensor data from the rotor to a nearby monitoring device. The fault tolerant strategy will use the bidirectional capabilities of two independent redundant radios operating at different frequencies to maximize the likelihood that if one link becomes disabled, that the other continues to operate seamlessly while the first is reset. In addition to the redundant link technique, the system will employ a layered watchdog approach that allows the transmit side to recover from a fault that might otherwise “lock” the system. This approach will improve the mean time between failures in the high transient noise environment of large motors and generators, significantly improving the up-time of these critical power generation and delivery systems, often placed in remote locations, potentially days away from field service access.

Ultimately, the deliverable to the client is a fully functional and tested PCB assembly ready for production. This is the second project from this client.

Fairport, New York (February 21, 2011) Vanteon has successfully won additional testing of another iPhone application. There has been a steady increase in demand for this type of testing. Vanteon also supports testing for Android based applications.

Rochester, New York (December 21, 2010) Vanteon Corporation, an electronic systems design and engineering company, has relocated their offices to 250 CrossKeys Office Park in Fairport, New York. The new location provides the company with more room to grow their engineering and testing services for their client base.

The company is experiencing an increase in business across its six customer market areas with the largest increases attributed to the adoption of Software Defined Radio for applications in wireless communications systems.

"Wireless communications systems for aviation, defense, "Smart-grid," healthcare, and transportation applications require flexibility and reliability that can be achieved using our WaveCaster™ Software Defined Radio," states Joe Burke, Vanteon's CEO. "We have experienced significant interest in this technology from several industry segments in the past year and business is now at the point where we needed additional space to accommodate our new growth wave," Burke continued.

Rochester, NY (December 3, 2010) Vanteon, a U.S.-based electronic system design company, announces that it now provides industrial strength testing for ensuring performance, scalability and reliability of applications designed to take advantage of the iPhone when connected to the live global network.

While many may think of iPhone Apps as being games or simple utilities, the number of serious business applications for education and reference are growing rapidly. Companies that seek to generate on-going revenue from their iPhone Apps require a higher level of testing to ensure reliable performance in live devices, including the back-end devices that need to manage information queries from multiple mobile devices at the same time.

Services from Vanteon include functionality and interoperability testing as well. This complete end-to-end service coupled with Vanteon's collaborative project management can dramatically shorten the path to App Certification. This process effectively puts certification testing on a parallel path with App development to reduce total development time and get revenue flowing faster for the App developer.

Vanteon has provided IV&V services over the past six years through a client-defined validation process using automated testing environments and documentation of test results. Based on the on-going demands for medical devices that have software dependencies, IV&V services is a growing segment within the larger business of electronic systems design and engineering services at Vanteon.

Software and system validation helps to improve the usability and reliability of a given medical device, resulting in lower failure rates, fewer recalls and corrective actions, and reduced liability to device manufacturers. It can also help reduce device life-cycle costs by making it easier to modify code and re-validate the changed software.

Rochester, NY (November 15, 2010) Vanteon's history of designing and developing technologically advanced electronic systems through it's customer collaboration process is now being applied to advancing the future of wireless systems in the automotive industry.

Hands-free telephones, music streaming, and navigation devices are examples of wireless technologies that are increasingly used in cars and trucks for both consumer and commercial applications. Consumers are increasingly expecting on-the-go access to multimedia content and are looking for enhanced driver assistance, productivity and communication services in the vehicles they buy.

The future may hold many more new uses for wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth 2.1, that focus on the vehicle's functional systems—like adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and tire pressure monitoring.

Envisioning and designing these new systems for low power consumption, high reliability, and ease of use are at the heart of Vanteon's role in this new project.

Rochester, NY (October 25, 2010) Vanteon offers new services that help shorten the development cycle and improve field performance for industrial equipment manufacturers seeking to enhance their ruggedized computing devices by upgrading to Windows CE 6.0.

Windows CE is a component-based embedded operating system that has become widely used in industrial equipment as well as in a host of mobile computing and communications devices, including SmartPhones. Devices that use Windows CE often have less on-board data storage capacity than devices like laptop computers. This lowers the unit manufacturing costs for CE devices but imposes constraints on how programs are executed and how much resulting data is stored.

Windows CE 6.0 provides enhanced process address space as well as an increased limit on the amount of physically managed memory that can be utilized. Devices that are upgraded from earlier versions of WinCE can use these resources to gain significant performance advantages.

Future enhancements to WinCE are anticipated and Vanteon has an experienced design, engineering, and testing team at the ready. For more information on WinCE Upgrade services from Vanteon, contact Earl Buiceebuice@vanteon.com.
